'''''The Two Doctors''''' was the fourth serial of [[season 22]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. | '''''The Two Doctors''''' was the fourth serial of [[Season 22 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 22]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. | ||
It was the first appearance of the [[Sontaran]]s since [[Season 15]]'s ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''. The Second Doctor returned, played by Patrick Troughton, as did Jamie McCrimmon, played by Frazer Hines, both having last appeared in the twentieth anniversary special ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. It was the first Sontaran story set on contemporary [[Earth]], [[Peter Moffatt]]'s last contribution to the show and [[Robert Holmes]]' first Sixth Doctor script. | It was the first appearance of the [[Sontaran]]s since [[Season 15 (Doctor Who 1963)|Season 15]]'s ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''.

It was the first Sontaran story set on contemporary [[Earth]], [[Peter Moffatt]]'s last contribution to the show and [[Robert Holmes]]' first Sixth Doctor script. | ||
After the success of ''The Five Doctors'', [[John Nathan-Turner|Nathan-Turner]] was keen to do another multi-Doctor story. He quickly secured Troughton as the returning incarnation. It was suggested the story be set in [[New Orleans]], but Holmes found it to have little merit as a setting and the idea was quashed when funding was pulled. [[Venice]] was chosen by Nathan-Turner, but this was too expensive, leaving them with [[Seville]], a [[Spanish]] town. Holmes reluctantly agreed to a rewrite, disappointed he would have to cut his jokes about the differences between [[Great Britain|British]] and [[United States of America|American]] [[English language|English]]. As a [[vegetarian]], Holmes wrote ''The Two Doctors'' as an [[allegory]] of meat-eating, hunting and butchering. | After the success of ''The Five Doctors'', [[John Nathan-Turner|Nathan-Turner]] was keen to do another multi-Doctor story.

The [[Second Doctor]] pilots [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] as [[Jamie McCrimmon]] laments over the absence of their friend [[Victoria Waterfield]] and the possibility of them ever getting back to her. The Doctor reminds him that she's off studying graphology at the time.

The Doctor explains to Jamie that the station is a research facility and they are here to have a discreet word with [[Dastari]], the Head of Projects.

Shockeye is an [[Androgum]], a member of a primitive, emotionally and ethically bestial humanoid race who make up the station's workforce. He is confrontational, angry that a ship has been landed in his kitchen until the Doctor reveals he is a Time Lord. Suddenly deferential, Shockeye eyes Jamie hungrily and offers to buy him from the Doctor as the main ingredient for a meal. The Doctor, shocked, refuses. He takes Jamie away to see Dastari.

This is observed by [[Chessene]], an Androgum technologically augmented to mega-genius levels; her appearance has changed because of such - she looks like an attractive human woman.

* The prop used for the Second Doctor's TARDIS console unit is the same one used by the Fifth Doctor throughout the [[Season 19|first]] [[Season 20|two]] seasons of his tenure. It was brought out for this particular serial due to the need of a "retro" console unit for the Second Doctor's TARDIS, and the budget could not accommodate for a rebuilding of the original 1963 console prop (which had already deteriorated to the point of uselessness by the 1970s). Consequently, this story marks the final televised appearance of the prop. However, the "old" TARDIS control room features the regular built-in white-shuttered scanner screen, which first appeared in Season Fifteen's ''[[The Invisible Enemy (TV story)|The Invisible Enemy]]'', as opposed to the bracket-mounted television monitor used during the 1960s. | * The prop used for the Second Doctor's TARDIS console unit is the same one used by the Fifth Doctor throughout the [[Season 19 (Doctor Who 1963)|first]] [[Season 20 (Doctor Who 1963)|two]] seasons of his tenure.

* This story, like many of [[Season 22]], was produced in forty-five-minute episodes. When sold to other countries such as Australia and America, the episodes were edited into six twenty-five-minute episodes with new cliff-hangers added, [[Peri Brown|Peri]]'s collapse on the space station for part one (another version had the voice of Space Station Camera's computer stating "It threatened the Time Lords"), Anita offering to lead the Doctor to Chessene's hideout for part three and the Doctor struggling against the [[Androgum]] [[gene]]s infecting his timeline, confirming he is all right "for the moment" for part five.

* For the destruction of the Sontaran ship, the Visual Effects team was forbidden to import pyrotechnics. They originally tried to source materials from Madrid, but it soon became clear that the shipment would not arrive in time. Instead, designer [[Steven Drewett]] decided to create the necessary effect using gunpowder obtained from a firearms store in Seville. The resulting explosion was so effective that it spooked an elderly woman living on the grounds of the hacienda, who had to be persuaded that it was not the work of Basque separatists. Happily, [[Peter Moffatt]] made such good progress at Dehera Boyar that there was enough time to record two scenes originally intended for the studio. | * For the destruction of the Sontaran ship, the Visual Effects team was forbidden to import pyrotechnics.

* When the film reels were returned to the UK for processing, it was discovered that there was a scratch on of the reels. This meant that some of the material recorded at Dehera Boyar, involving Osca and Anita in the olive grove, would have to be remounted. Unfortunately, [[James Saxon]] and [[Carmen Gómez]] had already returned to England, and this meant that they would have to be despatched back to Spain at great cost to the production office. The scene of the Sixth Doctor fishing for Gumblejacks was also remounted. [[Peter Moffatt]]'s team was disappointed to discover that the extreme heat and lack of rain had considerably reduced the water level in the days since the location had been reconnoitred. To add insult to injury, it was discovered that the reported scratch was virtually imperceptible, making the reshoots unnecessary, much to [[John Nathan-Turner]]'s outrage.{{Fact}} | |||
